There are many places in Darjeeling which are much more beautiful than the Darjeeling town area sights. Nowadays some tourists have started discovering those other beautiful places that falls within Darjeeling Area., One among them is Lava. It is a Bhutnese word which means a Paradise. Lava is a small town located near to Kalimpong having mostly the tribal population of hardly 2000 . It is an international border between India, Bhutan and China.

The main source of livelihood for the people over there is Tourism and some cash crops like cardamom.
If you are planning to visit the place, you can go either by Train or Flight. However they can take you only up-to siliguri. From sulfuric you can either go by hiring a taxi or in a sharing Taxi. It takes nearly Four hours to reach lava.

The cool weather, warm hearted Tribal population, The hilly Forest with varieties of flora and fauna, changey falls and the beautiful views Of Rachela and Kanjenjunga will enlighten the mood of one one. Most of the newly married couples come here for their first honeymoon.
